Intellisense is suddenly missing from Visual Studio 2008 IDE on a project I am working. This was working fine. I rebooted the machine several times but still not working. It's working in other projects. What else could be causing this?

Try deleting the .ncb files. Failing that, checkout a clean source tree.

Additionally follow other standard Visual Studio troubleshooting techniques: Restore the default settings and/or try the /SafeMode option. – Dirk Vollmar Feb 25 '10 at 23:40

Did you check under Tools/Options/Text Editor/(Your Language) to see if the auto complete is still on? There is "Auto List Members" under General and also Intelesense section has a show option.

I checked this earlier. The settings are perfect. It's just one particular project which was working fine until now. – Saif Khan Feb 25 '10 at 23:34

That's strange. You might try creating a new solution for the project or even a new project and then add just your classes and config files to the new project. – Patrick Kafka Feb 25 '10 at 23:42

A third party dll was throwing an error in design mode. Only when I tried to open the form in Design View I noticed the error.
